Sleep stage classification constitutes an important element of sleep disorder diagnosis. It relies on the visual inspection of polysomnography records by trained sleep technologists. Automated approaches have been designed to alleviate this…
We introduce an entropy-based classification method for pairs of sequences (ECPS) for quantifying mutual dependencies in heart rate and beat-to-beat blood pressure recordings. The purpose of the method is to build a classifier for data in…
This paper proposes a new approach to identifying patients with insomnia using a single EEG channel, without the need for sleep stage annotation. Data preprocessing, feature extraction, feature selection, and classification techniques are…
Sleep staging is essential for the assessment of sleep quality and the diagnosis of sleep-related disorders. Conventional polysomnography (PSG), while considered the gold standard, is intrusive, labor-intensive, and unsuitable for long-term…
In this work, a dense recurrent convolutional neural network (DRCNN) was constructed to detect sleep disorders including arousal, apnea and hypopnea using Polysomnography (PSG) measurement channels provided in the 2018 Physionet challenge…
Objective dyslexia diagnosis is not a straighforward task since it is traditionally performed by means of the intepretation of different behavioural tests. Moreover, these tests are only applicable to readers. This way, early diagnosis…
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a serious and prevalent condition, and acoustic analysis via consumer devices (e.g. smartphones) offers a low-cost solution to screening for it. We present a novel approach for the acoustic identification…
Diagnosing sleep disorders is an important focus in neuroscience and engineering, as these conditions involve issues such as insufficient sleep, frequent awakenings, and difficulty reaching deep sleep. Accurate detection based on brain…
Pediatric obstructive sleep apnea affects an estimated 1-5% of elementary-school aged children and can lead to other detrimental health problems. Swift diagnosis and treatment are critical to a child's growth and development, but the…
The Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) is one of the most-used parameters from the sleep study that allows assessing both the severity of obstructive sleep apnea and the reliability of new devices and methods. However, in many cases, it is compared…
Sleep is essential for good health throughout our lives, yet studying its dynamics requires manual sleep staging, a labor-intensive step in sleep research and clinical care. Across centers, polysomnography (PSG) recordings are traditionally…
Brief fragments of sleep shorter than 15 s are defined as microsleep episodes (MSEs), often subjectively perceived as sleepiness. Their main characteristic is a slowing in frequency in the electroencephalogram (EEG), similar to stage N1…
Sleep apnea (SA) is a chronic sleep-related disorder consisting of repetitive pauses or restrictions in airflow during sleep and is known to be a risk factor for cerebro- and cardiovascular disease. It is generally diagnosed using…
In this work, we leverage machine learning techniques to identify potential biomarkers of oxygen desaturation during sleep exclusively from electroencephalogram (EEG) signals in pediatric patients with sleep apnea. Development of a machine…
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent arrhythmia and is associated with a five-fold increase in stroke risk. Many individuals with AF go undetected. These individuals are often asymptomatic. There are ongoing debates on whether…
Objective: Ultrasound (US) examination has unique advantages in diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) while identifying the median nerve (MN) and diagnosing CTS depends heavily on the expertise of examiners. To alleviate this problem, we…
Radar-based respiratory measurement is a promising tool for the noncontact detection of sleep apnea. Our team has reported that apnea events can be accurately detected using the statistical characteristics of the amplitude of respiratory…
Craniofacial profile is one of the anatomical causes of obstructive sleep apnea(OSA). By medical research, cephalometry provides information on patients' skeletal structures and soft tissues. In this work, a novel approach to cephalometric…
Sleep staging plays an important role on the diagnosis of sleep disorders. In general, experts classify sleep stages manually based on polysomnography (PSG), which is quite time-consuming. Meanwhile, the acquisition process of multiple…
The ability to assess sleep at home, capture sleep stages, and detect the occurrence of apnea (without on-body sensors) simply by analyzing the radio waves bouncing off people's bodies while they sleep is quite powerful. Such a capability…
